That includes hospital and school projects where environmental rules are strict.
The robots are all electric, leaving no harmful emissions. Concrete Cutting has also shifted to all electric saws and drills to keep its carbon footprint low.

Nevrotski started Concrete Cutting Systems in 1995 in the basement of his home in Philadelphia after working 10 years for a concrete drill and saw company. The company is now one of the largest businesses of its kind on the East Coast and performs saw cutting and drilling for the major utilities in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas and.
